Suggestions for Mercy from someone with too much time on her šŸ“

Iā€™ll take ANY form of an earnable Rez again. Anything to give Mercy her skills and need for strategy back. Sheā€™s just too boring and soulless in her current state.

Mercy could do with a Nerf. I dont think these nerf her at allā€¦

8 nerfs total, but in 3 iterations.

You make it sound as if it was one after another, 8 times. :stuck_out_tongue:

amazingly after 8 nerfs she is still strong.

I donā€™t actually mind the slowdown that much. I can agree itā€™s a tad too much, but not entirely unwarranted. What I do mind, is that itā€™s not cancelable, and the fact that if someone interrupts you, youā€™re still rooted and the animation still continues.

Oh how I wish you were the one in charge of balancing Mercy, Eevee. This sounds so much more enjoyable (and yet also balanced) than what we currently have.

Indeed so.

Iā€™m ok with this suggestions. I find that they will keep balanced Mercy, without leaving fun from her.
Anyway, we all know that are useless words: Blizzard has own plans, we are useless. We have a thread of 18k+ replied that confirm this.

It is or isnt depending on how you look at it. I guess I could explain for the 100th time as to why I think this.

  1. She is the only character with a cast time on an ability
  2. It wouldnt be rewarding at all if she had to wait for 2 seconds to res after charging it
  3. You can counter her by killing her as she cant charge it and thus will res less.

Cast time isnt needed if she is forced to charge it first. If she resses too much just increase the cost.

I think this is a really good suggestion and should be taken into consideration with the proposed OP argument.

This has the same ring to OP but Resurrect as an ultimate will feel a lot better. A channel to get a single Resurrect feels kinda sad. Having a single Resurrect and a burst heal on a channel now you are talking my language.

Nobody ever asks when Valkyrie is ready what they do ask for is Resurrect which tells us something. That Resurrect is much more impactful than Valkyrie.

I think it would be nice to cancel the animation, but typically in those scenarios you shouldnā€™t of pressed ā€œEā€ in the first place.

I mean, I like that it forces the Mercy to make decisions since it loses the cleave and changes the pistol, but overall it doesnā€™t change the fact that itā€™s not a ā€œstand outā€ Ult which is mostly what I saw people whining about.

The op suggested increasing her single target beam and removing the chain beams. I suggested keep the chain beams (with lowered hps) while increasing the healing on the initial beam target.

Thatā€™s actually sounds reasonable, wonā€™t stop people from thinking itā€™s op thoughā€¦

True, but McCree can cancel his ultimate, Reaper can cancel his Wraith formā€¦ Why is Mercy, again, an exception?

Itā€™s a long the same lines as what Eeveea has presented but it would flow really well together.

If Mercy is a healer then she needs some huge heals. Which is why I suggested that dual purpose Resurrect. Valkyrie on E gives much more flexibility and isnā€™t restricted to her ultimate meaning you can fly more frequently and feel a lot more engaging.

Ressurection is the most powerful ability in the game. Therefore, there needs to be a high risk for it, since the reward is super high. I donā€™t think animation canceling would make it busted, it would just make trying to Rez someone less riskier.

Is the res instant though or still with the cast time? If itā€™s going to be earned then remove the most painful thing about playing her pleaseā€¦

You are forgetting the smaller nerfs, like the guardian angel cooldown not being reset upon rezzing, etc. That happened on a separate patch, and thus creating another nerf occasionā€¦

Thatā€™s exactly what I was thinking. It would be the same but the main beam does 120 per second while the rest do 45 per second or less depeding on how far they are from the initial target.
